Label Young Keratin
Label Young Keratin covers 5+ products where keratin removal or repair is a stated function. The range splits into two distinct angles: facial keratin removal (Shock Death Peeling Gel and Shock Foam Cleansing, both targeting keratin buildup in pores) and hair keratin repair (Shocking Hair Drop Ampoule with protein care, and the Mayonnaise Hair Pack 200ml for damage recovery). These products address the same structural protein at different body zones.

Label Young Keratin Products: Skin and Hair Guide
Label Young's keratin-focused assortment at skinsli covers 5+ products across two functional categories: skin-level keratin removal (peeling gel and foam cleanser) and hair-level keratin repair (protein ampoule and mayo pack). Keratin is a structural protein present in both skin and hair - it forms the outer protective layer of skin cells and the primary structural component of the hair shaft. These two categories address it from opposite directions: removal where it accumulates in pores, repair where heat or chemical damage has broken it down in hair.
Keratin in skin vs hair: two different problems
On facial skin, keratin is part of the dead cell layer (stratum corneum). When keratin-rich dead skin cells accumulate in or around pores - often mixed with sebum - they create the texture and visible pore appearance associated with congestion and blackheads. Keratin removal in skincare means exfoliating and clearing this buildup, either through physical friction (peeling gel) or mild active cleansing (foam cleanser).
In hair, keratin is the structural protein of the hair shaft itself. Chemical processing (bleaching, perming), heat tools, and environmental damage break keratin bonds, causing frizz, breakage, and reduced elasticity. Keratin repair in hair products means restoring broken protein bonds or coating the shaft with protein-rich ingredients to improve strength and appearance temporarily.
Shock Death Peeling Gel: removing keratin buildup from facial skin
The Shock Death Peeling Gel explicitly names keratin removal alongside its hypoallergenic peeling claim. The gel is applied to dry facial skin; rolling or rubbing gently with fingertips generates a friction surface that lifts keratin-rich dead skin cells from the skin surface and around pores. The cells come off in small rolled-up pieces - the visible sign that the exfoliation is working.
This is a physical exfoliant, not a chemical one. It does not dissolve keratin the way AHA or BHA do; it mechanically lifts the outer layers through friction. Use once weekly on normal skin, once every 10-14 days on sensitive skin. Available in two listings - Shock Death Peeling Gel and 120ml of Death Peeling Gel - both at the same 120ml size.
Shock Foam Cleansing: daily keratin and sebum control
The Shock Foam Cleansing targets keratin and sebum together in a daily cleanser. While the peeling gel removes already-built-up keratin in a weekly session, the foam cleanser is the daily maintenance step that prevents excessive keratin accumulation by clearing surface cells and oil with each wash. The mechanism is primarily surfactant-based rather than exfoliating - the foam lifts keratin-bound material from the pore opening without the friction approach.
Use the foam cleanser in the PM as your active cleansing step. On peeling gel days, use the gel instead of the foam as your PM cleansing step to avoid doubling up on keratin-removal activity in the same session. An AM gentle rinse or the milder Applesauce Cleanser keeps mornings light.
Shocking Hair Drop Ampoule: protein care for damaged hair
The Shocking Hair Drop Ampoule is listed as "Extreme Damage Hair Recovery All-in-One Essence Protein Care" - its full claims position it as a protein-delivery treatment for severely damaged hair. Protein care in hair treatments typically involves hydrolysed keratin or other structural proteins that temporarily fill gaps in the hair shaft caused by chemical or heat damage.
Apply 5-10 drops to the scalp and mid-lengths of clean, damp or dry hair. Massage into the scalp with fingertips. The ampoule format means it is not rinsed off - it stays in the hair as a leave-on treatment. At 70ml with 5-10 drops per session, the bottle supports 7-14 applications. Use weekly on damaged hair; healthy hair can use it monthly as a maintenance step.
Shocking Mayonnaise Hair Pack 200ml: intensive protein-based conditioning
The Shocking Mayonnaise Hair Pack is a 200ml rinse-off hair mask. Mayonnaise-inspired hair packs use emollient and protein-rich ingredients - egg-derived or fatty acid-based - to condition and temporarily repair the hair shaft. The Mayonnaise Hair Pack is described as an extreme damage recovery product, positioning it for hair that has been bleached, chemically treated, or heavily heat-styled.
Apply to clean, damp hair from root to tip. Cover with a plastic shower cap and leave for 10-15 minutes - the warmth trapped under the cap enhances absorption. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use weekly on bleached or heavily processed hair; every 2 weeks on heat-damaged but chemically untreated hair. At 200ml it covers shoulder-length hair for 8-10 treatments.
Using both skin-keratin and hair-keratin products in the same routine
The skin and hair keratin products in this collection do not interact - they are used in separate sessions on different body parts. A practical combined schedule: Monday PM - Shock Foam Cleansing (daily facial keratin maintenance); Thursday PM - Shock Death Peeling Gel (weekly facial keratin removal, replaces foam cleanser that evening); Saturday - Shocking Hair Drop Ampoule on scalp (scalp protein treatment, leave-on); Saturday - Shocking Mayonnaise Hair Pack on hair lengths (rinse-off hair mask, same hair wash session as the ampoule).
You can apply the hair ampoule to the scalp and the mayo pack to the lengths simultaneously in the same hair session, then rinse the pack while leaving the ampoule. This makes the 70ml ampoule and 200ml pack complement each other within a single shower.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can the Shocking Hair Drop Ampoule 70ml prevent breakage on bleached hair?
The Hair Drop Ampoule's protein care positioning addresses the structural damage that bleaching causes to the hair shaft - a key contributor to breakage. Regular protein treatments can temporarily restore elasticity and reduce snapping in bleached hair. Apply 5-10 drops to clean, slightly damp hair weekly, focusing on the areas with most damage (usually the lengths and ends). Results are gradual; expect to see reduced breakage after 4-6 consecutive weekly treatments. Deep bleaching that has compromised the hair's core structure may require professional protein treatments in addition to at-home products for significant improvement.
Should I use the Shocking Mayonnaise Hair Pack 200ml or the Hair Drop Ampoule 70ml for damaged hair?
Use both if your damage is severe - they work differently. The Mayonnaise Hair Pack is a rinse-off conditioning mask that coats the hair shaft from outside for immediate softness and manageability. The Hair Drop Ampoule is a leave-on scalp and strand treatment that penetrates deeper and stays active between washes. Apply the ampoule to the scalp and lengths, let it absorb, then apply the mayo pack over the lengths and rinse after 15 minutes. This combination gives you both immediate conditioning and ongoing protein support.
For clogged pores, is the Shock Death Peeling Gel or the Shock Foam Cleansing the more effective keratin-clearing product?
The peeling gel delivers stronger keratin removal in a single session - the mechanical friction lifts accumulated dead cells that a cleanser cannot reach. The foam cleanser is for daily maintenance, not deep clearing. Use the peeling gel once weekly for a periodic deep clear, and use the foam cleanser on other evenings to prevent buildup between sessions. Starting with the foam for 2 weeks before adding the peeling gel is a sensible introduction for skin new to active cleansing.
Are the Shock Death Peeling Gel and the "120ml of Death Peeling Gel" listing the same product?
Yes. Both are the same 120ml Death Peeling Gel formula. The title differences reflect how the same Korean product is listed under two slightly different English titles in the catalog. Buy either listing to receive the same product.
Is daily use of the Shock Foam Cleansing too aggressive for combination skin?
For combination skin, once-daily PM use of the Shock Foam Cleansing is manageable, though the T-zone and drier zones may respond differently. If your cheeks feel tight after daily use, consider using the foam on your T-zone and chin where sebum is higher, and applying a gentler cleanser (or water rinse) to drier cheek areas. Alternatively, limit the Shock Foam to 3-4 times weekly PM and use the Shocking Applesauce Cleanser on other evenings. Monitor how your cheeks respond in the first two weeks and adjust frequency accordingly.
How many Label Young keratin products does skinsli carry?
Skinsli stocks 5+ Label Young keratin products: the Shock Death Peeling Gel (two listings at 120ml), the Shock Foam Cleansing, the Shocking Hair Drop Ampoule 70ml, and the Shocking Mayonnaise Hair Pack 200ml. All are authentic Korean imports shipped from the US warehouse.
Can the Shocking Mayonnaise Hair Pack 200ml be applied to the scalp or only to lengths?
The Mayonnaise Hair Pack is primarily for lengths and ends rather than the scalp. Heavy conditioning masks applied to the scalp can cause buildup that clogs hair follicles over time and may worsen scalp oiliness. Focus the pack from mid-length to tips - the areas with most heat and chemical damage. If your scalp is also dry, apply a light amount to the scalp but rinse thoroughly. For scalp-focused protein treatment, the Hair Drop Ampoule 70ml is better suited - it is designed for scalp application specifically.
